It's not. The point is that virtually no transport category aircraft have inherent stability in all dimensions of the flight envelope, as this would require too many compromises in other areas. There's nothing unusual about the extent to which the 737-MAX relies on stability enhancement. There are existing commercial airliners that are far more dependent on it for safety. For example, the Boeing 727 has two redundant yaw dampers because failure of both yaw dampers would result in the aircraft becoming irrecoverably uncontrollable at certain altitudes. In contrast, if your removed MCAS from the 737-MAX it would still be completely flyable.
As someone who has a Model D in my basement, this seems wildly off-base. The cheap water rowers with plastic belts I've used in hotel gyms felt way worse than the metal belt. The noise is almost exclusively from the flywheel and not the chain anyways. And stability has never been an issue - I love that the C2 is relatively light and easy to move. I've never used a C2 that felt anything but rock solid, even the ancient ones at my old gym.

I feel like a cool business model would be to make a replacement color screen for the C2s that can do more stuff. Their built-in games and programs are fun but very limited. I would love to have a Peloton experience on a 500 dollar screen I could add to my existing rower.

Did Google previously donate to those members of Congress who voted against the election results?

I may be wrong but I suspect they did not and are making this announcement as a way to pander and improve their social standing.

I'd like to announce that I also won't donate to member of congress who voted against the election results.
Care to elaborate? It’s abundantly clear to me that disinformation and conspiracy theories is a major, and probably the biggest, threat to democracy.

You can't question our alliance with Saudi Arabia without questioning our alliance with Israel. Well, you can, but the former flows from the latter. If we're going to be allies with Israel, then Iran is our enemy. If Iran is our enemy, then Saudi Arabia is our friend. We've come up with all sorts of other rationalizations over the years, but that is the core of it.

I've begun to see the faintest whiffs of questioning the Saudi alliance among the foreign policy establishment, but I suspect our deeply pro-Israel sentiments will prevent anything from changing for a long time.

Those radio and TV networks were, before the internet, the only way you could broadcast to the nation, or the city, or the region or whatever. If you wanted to reach many people and not in print, you had to be on them. As you note, this is no longer the case.

The resource you want access to is, variously, either the internet itself or (e.g.) Signal's audience. You don't need Signal for the former, and you don't have any constitutional or moral right to the latter.

The only obvious difference is the argument between voter suppression and widespread election fraud, but the actual act of objecting to the certification of election results was ultimately the same. A less obvious difference was the way citizens forced their way into the Capitol Building just before the certification and objections took place.

A question one might ask is did the Democrats (that objected) believe there was really sufficient voter suppression to swing the vote, or did they just use this as a tactic to try to change a legitimate election?

And did the Republicans (that objected) believe there was sufficient widespread election fraud to swing the vote, or did they just use this as a tactic to try to change a legitimate election?
I mean it's just a small forum, can they really have the same amount of influence on the market than a hedge fund or a market maker? What does the SEC care about a bunch of trolls on the internet?
I'd say on average, tech companies pushing DoH like Google, Cloudflare, and Mozilla, are using the excuse of hostile ISPs, knowing that the primary goal is to defeat enterprise security and ad blocking.

I mean, sure, Google's worried about your ISP logging your queries and selling the data... because that would compete with Google's business of logging your web activity and selling ads based on it. DoH isn't a privacy technology at that point, it's a anti-competition play.
The skepticism is founded, but there's some truth.

PostgreSQL (and traditional RDBMSes) aren't built with horizontal scaling in mind. That's both a blessing and a curse. The curse is obvious. The blessing is that it means that they will let you get much further with vertical scaling. Especially if you take the time to learn how to tune them.

Support for horizontal scaling comes at a cost. When I've done performance analyses, I regularly find that parallel and distributed implementations spend most their wall clock time on synchronization and communication. Occasionally more than 90%. That creates a big up-front cost you need to overcome before you see a net benefit. It also leads to a sort of horizontal scaling version of the rocket equation where returns can diminish rapidly.
Why would you post something political to Facebook at this point? Best case you look like an ass to half your friends and just feed a machine.

They banned him after his Presidency. He did greivous harm and acts of hate before that, but only now are Twitter giving it the attention it deserves. Anyone else would have been banned long before now. He has incited a great deal of violence with racist dogwhistles, and only now he's facing any sort of punishment.

That's not really true. So long as stock indexes generally move up, everyone can make money. The battle is over who makes more and more quickly. I'm a passive investor just plowing savings in index funds and making like 12% a year. All the mechanics of day trading vs working for a bank are pretty similar, but the difference is scale.

Probably about 25-35 years. That's about how long we can subsist on current proven oil reserves given the amount and given the yearly consumption of oil and accounting for usage increase and fluctuations.

Which is another way of saying we have 25-35 years to get electric cars up and running and to really "solve" the alternative energy crisis. This is why we need to be pouring massive amounts of money into fusion power research, because if we can crack that nut, we're set.

Or hey, maybe never.

Almost all large corporations donate very broadly, so it's likely Google itself or a PAC they control did, yes.

It's true that there's a certain amount of performative dancing (or "virtue signaling", if that matches your tribe's jargon better) going on here. Pulling back on giving at the very beginning of a congressional cycle, when little giving happens, isn't really doing much in a concrete sense.

But no, the impact is real as far as it goes. Google is not a "democratic" company in any real sense. Almost no large corporations look partisan in that way.

I do research in this field but I am a programmer by training before I entered this research field. I have talked to many academics and they agree that industry needs something simpler, more approachable and something that solves their problems in a more direct way, so it's definitely not an "academic exercise" for many researchers.

However, I failed to convince people that we need to implement the 2001 SciAm use case (https://www-sop.inria.fr/acacia/cours/essi2006/Scientific%20..., see the intro before the first section) using 2021 technologies (smartphones are here, assistants are here, shared calendars are easy, companies have APIs, the only thing missing is a proper glue using semantic web tech). This goes to the core thesis of this paper that semantic web is awesome as the set of ideas and approaches but the Semantic Web as the result of all this work may look underwhelming or irrelevant today. I like to point everyone who disagrees with me to the 1994 TimBL presentation at CERN (https://videos.cern.ch/record/2671957) where he talks about the early vision of semantic web (https://imgur.com/aS2dbf6 or around 05:00 in the video), which looks awfully like IoT (many years before the term even existed). We simply cannot fault someone who envisioned communication technologies for IoT in 1994 for getting the technology a bit wrong.

Today's technologies simply cannot handle the use-cases for which SemWeb was designed for properly:

1) The web is still not suitable for machines. Yes, we have IoT devices that use APIs but nobody will say it's truly M2M communication at its best. When APIs go down devices get bricked, there is no way to get those devices to talk to any other APIs. There is no way for two devices in a house to talk to each other unless they were explicitly programmed to do so.

2) We don't have common definitions for the simplest of terms. Schema.org made a progress but it's very limited because it serves search engine interest, not the IoT community. There is no reason something like XML NS or RDF NS should not be used across every microservice in a company. Using a key (we call them predicates, but not important here) "email:mbox" (defined in https://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/ very long time ago) you can globally denote the value is an email.

3) Correctness of data and endpoint definition still matters. We threw away XML and WSDL but came back to develop JSON Schema and Swagger.

We are trying to get there. JSON Schema, Swagger etc. all make efforts in the direction of the problems SemWeb tried to address. One of the most "semantic" efforts I see done recently is GraphQL federation, which has been a semantic web dream for a long while: being able to get the information you need by querying more than one API. This only indicates the problems that semantic web tried to address are still viable.

If anyone has attempted an OSS reimplementation of the 2001 "Pete and Lucy" semantic web use case (ie as an Android app and a bunch of microservices), please point me in the right direction. Otherwise, if anyone is interested in doing it, I am all ears (https://gitter.im/linkeddata/chat is an active place for the LOD/EKG/SW discussion).
> In that world, would you really want this data back so badly that you're going to scan it all in from a giant pile of paper?

I can't answer what I would do if the world was in that state, but I'd rather have the ability to restore my important backup than not.

I might be wrong since I haven't done it yet, but creating the paper backup doesn't seem like a huge time investment.

I haven't noticed Firefox for Enterprise before. At first I thought it was a new name for extended support release, but Enterprise is available in both ESR and the regular releases.

Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25855367

I'm not sure if this paper falls into the category of saying X is possible because they plug a value outside of the domain of a function into that function where X can be wormholes, FTL drives and, yes, time travel.

Typical examples: velocities > c, negative energy, negative mass.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Probably the best way I can illustrate this point is with temperature. Imagine what happens when we start plugging temperatures below absolute zero into various formulae. But temperatures < 0K make no sense. I also feel that velocities outside [0, c] make no sense.

I also think there's pretty good evidence of the inability to time travel: and that is the apparent absence of any observed time travelers.

There are big problems on the UK/France border now. But that's not "to be expected", it is to be expected if one deploys a big change without preparing and testing.

The French customs service prepared and ran several tests, including this famous one: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/24/trial-of-br...

The British one didn't, and now has problems. See here, for example: https://twitter.com/DanielLambert29/status/13528873808276439...

One side prepared, tested and copes. The other didn't, didn't, and doesn't.

> And if your post-collapse computer can’t read PDFs or play videos, how much useful preserved information can you really access?

Most websites that don't use JS to load the important content. It's also worth noting that there doesn't seem to be any way to connect normal mass storage devices. It can read from floppies and SD cards. Some people still have floppies, but I would have to imagine there's a lot more useful information laying around on SATA drives.

It doesn't matter if it can read PDFs or play videos if you can't read the storage devices those are on.
So the reason for objecting doesn't matter, just that they objected?
If they charge 5 to 15 reais per month 80% of Brazil’s users will exit Twitter and Facebook for the free competitor the same day. I suppose the same would happen anywhere the exchange rate is unfavorable.
